Engineers planning upgrades to existing facilities are faced with two choices: Replace their existing technology with the same systems that worked for the past 30+ years or deploy new technologies, with Ethernet-APL as the core communications layer. The choices cannot be more divergent.
By focusing on targeted applications such as OEE, downtime tracking, batch recipe management, LIMS data integration and bi-directional workflows, manufacturers can quickly achieve tangible benefits and build a strong foundation for future growth.
